O Scale Modelers
Welcome to the Colorado O Scale Modelers home page.
About Us
Friday April 18, 2014, seven people gathered together in an old tire warehouse to discuss having some fun running trains. One brought two four foot long modules that were set up and ready to run in about ten minutes. The portable exhibit layout later became the Longmont Terminal & Northern Model Railroad Co. LLC. At the time these modules were part of a 9×35′ layout. Further discussion determined two important points: #1 trains could be run, #2 it would be fun. Since we have formed our fellowship group back in 2014 we have grown not only with our layout but also with friends. The Colorado O Scale Modelers is not a club; simply a fellowship group of O Scale enthusiasts that model an array of eras and prototypes that anyone in the hobby is welcome. Click on the Blog link on the upper right to get continued updates about the Colorado O Scale Modelers and upcoming events and meetings. We meet at rotating locations and times, watch the Blog for postings on what we are up to. If you like feel free to contact the chair of the group John Johnson via our contact page about joining in on one of our meetings.
2023 O Scale National Convention!
The Second Section!
The O scale community will head to Denver June 8-11, 2023 for the annual convention of all trains scaled 48 to the foot. This will be the main event for O scale modelers looking for great layout tours, modeling clinics, and hundreds of vendor tables loaded with the news products as well as treasures going back for more than 70 years.
Into O Scale?
Run trains. Learn stuff. Teach others stuff. Most of all have fun. These are our core values and we intend to abide by them. Join us at our next event.
Fun With 2 Rails!
We move around. We experiment with our layout and will add. We just like to do what we love. If it is also your love, we encourage you to join us. We’d love to see the spark for model railroading passed on to future generations and we promote a welcoming environment for all enthusiasts.
The Second Section heads to Denver June 2023!
“Colorado offers an amazing destination for families as well as O scalers,” says event Chair Bob Kjelland. “Denver and the Front Range are blessed with world-class museums, great local foods, lots of microbrews, boutique shopping, and much more. The Rocky Mountains minutes away and equally packed with outdoor activities to experience,” he says. “Of course, Colorado is also home to numerous narrow- and standard-gauge train rides and museums.”
Denver is home to a major airport that quickly connects the east and west coasts to the heartland. Amtrak’s California Zephyr connects Chicago and San Francisco to the Mile High City.
